Wine In A Juice Box

For the kid in all of us!

Tavernello makes red (10.5%) and white (11%) juice boxes in packs of 3 for about 1 Euro.
They're, you know, not bad for boxed wine.

Funny thing though, when you wake up and do a half hour run up and down the Tuscan hills, and then you take a 2 hour walk through said hills, and then you trudge through the vineyards to the local park for an hour and a half soccer game with a couple of the local guys... it don't take much to get you crunk.

In fact, it only takes about 1 of the little Tavernello guys.

And then with another, say, 2 glasses of whatever they put out in a carafe with dinner, I was having more fun than I have in a while.


Good thing I went to bed early, because after my run this morning, we had our first day of movement class with Brian Burroughs (read foxy Irish movement teacher) who kicked out butts physically for 2 hours, and then Voice class with Kevin Crawford where we got our vocal butts kicked and ended with a stirring rendition of The Spirit of the wind will carry me home.

At lunch, I took second helpings of even the peas.
I didn't even like peas.
Until today.

Ah food comas...
And now we see the beauty of the siesta.
